Best shoe in the world!
I have never worn a shoe as comfortable in my life--and I do love my shoes. As I turned 50 my feet "shifted". I found my first pair of Arche's when I could barely walk anymore in London. I wear a 71/2 but went to an 8. Now I will never go anywhere with out a pair. I even threw a suede pair in the washer on gentle, put shoe trees in them to dry-like new

While you will fall in love with these shoes the second you take them out of the box, don't get too excited. Mine wore out 6 months after moderate wear. They look so shabby now I am frustrated that I spent so much on them. Also, the heel progressively started digging into my skin, causing blisters. These are undeniably adorable, but I don't think they are worth the money at all.

I wish I could wear these all the time -- well, I practically do. I have foot problems (bunions and poor arches), and a teaching job that involves standing and walking all day long. The Arche Laius are soft and flexible, and so comfortable! Their classic ballet style goes with everything from jeans to evening clothes. There's no question that they are expensive, but absolutely worth the price. In the long run, they have proved to be a much better buy than the many pairs of cheaper and less well-made shoes that end up sitting in my closet.

I purchased this shoe right before I went to Paris! I don't know what I would have done without it. It looked so good with capris, and I felt like I fit right in with the Parisians. Most importantly, it was so comfortable. I have a rather large bunion, but it fit right over it. I did not feel like there was any problem with the arch, which I thought was going to bother me. I wore them every waking moment for 8 days. I just ordered another pair in another color as they are on sale. My shoe was the one that kind of looks like faux lizard skin, can't remember the name of it.

Love the style of the Laius shoe. I wear 10.5/11 and ordered this shoe about one year ago in black patent leather in size 42/11 and the fit was snug. I decided to give the Arche Laius another try and ordered one size larger (43/12) and they were perfect! This shoe (at least in my opinion) are extremely narrow. In regards to the Bronze Cervo Nacre color of this shoe, the color in the photo is not what I received in the mail. The photo depicts a golden bronze color, which is what I wanted. What I received was a brown/bronze color, it almost looked like dark olive. However, I still kept the shoe (almost returned it) because it's pretty and it's a neutral shoe.
